Talking with Izabel about openSUSE next Board elections and she told me and shared a link about gnome elections rules used [1]. I got a quick look up there and what I saw makes me believe the last link [2] could help us with a different view and strategy used by gnome-foundation to the similar task. I know we are different communities with different goals but I really believe we always have some to exchange with others communities.
GNOME Foundation 2010 Elections [1] http://foundation.gnome.org/elections/2010/
Elections 2010: Overview of the Board of Directors [2] http://foundation.gnome.org/elections/overview.html
I looked already a bit outside our own community but this is a welcome addtion.I think we missed -as I think JDD also mentioned - the following case: a tie for a final slot on the board I suggest to add New rule: Tie: In the event of a tie for the final slot on the board, the Election Officials will schedule run-off elections as soon as possible to resolve the tie. The second URL is something to inspire us for enhancing our wiki page, Thanks, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
